Corn Maze Fun In North Carolina

Have you ever been through a corn maze? We went on Sunday morning – while we were in North
Carolina soaking up Autumn. It was our very first time and we wandered around and around for almost an hour – before we found the exit. Hooray! It was such a great time – a perfect way to greet Fall.

Organic Halloween Goodness – Cookie Rush

Are you looking for the perfect cookies for your Autumn get together? How about these organic little goodies from Cookie Rush. And they are super affordable too! I would pick the little pumpkins or acorns.

And I have a feeling Eben would choose the eyeballs. Of course he would!

How about you?

Earth Friendly Etsy: Andrew’s Reclaimed

Andrew’s Reclaimed is owned and operated by Andrew and Melissa, a lovely husband and wife team. Andrew’s Reclaimed has a large assortment of Eco-friendly goods that are perfect for your home and garden. All of Andrew’s bee boxes, bat houses, bird feeders, butterfly houses, planter boxes and arbors are handcrafted using reclaimed wood from dismantled piers, fences, barns and other structures, slated for demolition and saving them from the landfill. Andrew never uses a live tree for his craft.

Andrew’s Reclaimed is located in Seattle with an excellent view of the Olympic Mountains. Andrew’s favorite part of his art is the discovery of the beautiful, high quality lumber that lies behind the weathered finishes. Every piece is unique, as all have been crafted from woods full of different clues to its history, in decades-old fastener holes, tool marks, embedded mineral stains, and other minor inclusions. Although he saws and planes most stock to uniform thicknesses, he likes these imperfections to remain as evidence of its antiquity. (This is a feature that I absolutely love.) When you purchase an item from Andrew’s Reclaimed, you are actively contributing to the conservation of some of the most beautiful and beneficial resources, while finding the perfect addition to your garden.

Andrew has been so lovely to offer ONE of my wonderful readers a Mason Mansion. (This is my personal favorite item and one that I will be purchasing in the near future.) This garden accessory, once populated with bees, is sure to bring more fruit and vegetables to your garden or orchard, and do so in an Eco-friendly way. To learn more about The Mason Mansion, Installation or Mason Bee Activity 101, please visit Andrew’s Reclaimed.

Earth Friendly Etsy: Pale Pink Recycled Inner Tube Journal

I love to journal my thoughts and ideas, you already know all about my journaling obsession, right? I have talked about here. I especially love to journal what I call Ebenisms because the things that Eben comes up with are priceless and I want to make sure that I will always remember them. I love to curl up on the sofa with a cup of tea and delve into the wise words of Eben, nothing makes me happier. Another thing that I love about journaling is the journal itself. I have all of my journals on my bookshelf and I love the diversity of colors and shapes and that all have been purchased somewhere special from many different locations that I have lived and experienced. The memory of where I purchased the journal is part of the fun and I make sure to write where and when I was when I bought the journal inside the cover. {just for fun} I also love journals that are made in an Earth friendly way or even better made from something old and used. This is why I love, love, love, this week’s Earth friendly Etsy shop, Pale Pink.

Pale Pink makes handmade recycled and upcycled bike inner tube notebooks and journals, bags, jewelry and accessories. Pale pink is owned by Larsen and located in Denmark. Larsen lives in an apartment in the middle of town with bicycle being the main mode of transpiration. Pale Pink’s Etsy shop is full of fab journals, wallets, decorative bobby pins and jewelry. My favorites are the journals {I would love to write in one} and the necklaces because they are so unique.
Larsen @ Pale Pink has been so lovely to offer ONE of my wonderful readers a fab inner tube journal to keep all your inter most thoughts and dreams.

What Speesees Are You? Organic Children’s Clothing Giveaway

Speesees is a super cute and fun organic cotton baby and kids clothing line, founded by Rachel Pearson in San Francisco. Rachel grew up in an Earth friendly home where her family recycled, didn’t have a microwave and she ate wholegrain sandwiches, while all the other kids enjoyed their Wonder Bread. (I feel for you Rachel, I grew up in a home full of wholegrain bread and carrot juice EVERY night with dinner.)

Speesees tag line is “United we Speesees through fog + fair weather, on this planet, our globe we’re in this together”. Speesees creates the coolest baby and kids clothing, accessories, bed and bath items as well as fun grown up bags, tees and hankies. Speesees cotton is 100% skal-certified organic, which means no pesticides or chemical fertilizers have been used in it’s cultivation. All of Speesees products are PVC free, chemical free, have nickel free snaps, no formaldehyde, no dioxin, use low impact dyes, are made fair trade and with lots of love.

Eben and I received the Speesees friend and tote. Eben absolutely loves his Speesees friend
he received Cocoa and promptly renamed him Molee. The friends are made of 100% organic Sherpa cotton and stuffed with lavender and lentils. Molee is not only buttery soft but smells fantastic. The mister walked into Eben’s room yesterday and said wow, it smells great in here, Molee must be in here somewhere. Eben has toted him around everywhere since we received him and won’t go to bed without him. I received the super cute and fun pine cone tote, it is the perfect size for marketing and has a great pine cone design on the front.

One of the best things about Speesees is their ReSpeeses program. When your baby outgrows their Speesees clothing, simply return the clothing to Speesees and they will donate it to a local women and children’s shelter and you get savings on your next order. To see the savings breakdown, click here.

Rachel has been so amazing to offer ONE of my lovely green parents a hum snap body gift set.

You will love this great line of organic baby and kids clothing and will probably find something for yourself as well.
